All your cynical “who do we need to throw under the bus to win” hand-wringing does is reveal how comfortable you are with failing. It’s a loser mentality. It’s accepting the premises of your enemies and preemptively ceding ground. It’s weakness.

Oh you hit hard with this one! Could never quite put a finger on why folks who play the blame game bother me so much. When they lose or fail, they try to frame it as victimhood to someone else's incompetence.
They’ve been wailing about bernie bros for a over a decade rather than learning or growing in any way past the noxious “lip service to progressive values while continuing to expand the police state and wealth gap at full tilt” brand of cynical republican lite-ism that Hillary Clinton exemplified.
She was already throwing people all around the world under the bus under Obama but they stopped being able to make that kind of “ethical compromise” palatable and it has driven them fully insane.
It’s understandable that it did, because the ability to do that was quite literally the only thing that made the Democratic party useful to the oligarchs who own the united states.
